Specifically, I will utilize the methodology of comparative film analysis to complete my study. First, I will analyze the concept of “The Haunted House” as a trope and setting in the three movies listed along with the horror genre as a whole. I will then establish the use of intertextuality through examining the inspirations and references present in the selected films. Additionally, I will compare four themes shared between the chosen texts: personification of the house, tragic loss, memories of the past, and isolation. Finally, I will reflect on the overall similarities uniting the films by highlighting their common narrative and cultural commentary. This chapter explains the process of conducting my comparative film analysis as I also provide a contextual and plot overview of The Babadook (2014), The Invitation (2015), and Crimson Peak (2015).
